A hull eight.

All who have read stories of Spain
and Mexico are naturally anxious to see
bull fight and it is now likely that the
curiosity will be gratified. Don Miguel
Eduardo Burtino, formerly chief matad or
to the King of Spain, and latterly in
the business in Mexico, will on next
Sunday, at Agricultural Park, give a
bull fight. The picadores and matador
will be dressed in regulation costume
and the fight will be conducted as such
affairs are in Spain. 1t will give good
idea of bull fight, at any rate.

Our Success san Eranctsco's Re
buke.

In the course of a well.eonsidefed ar.
ticle in tho San Francisco Chronicle npoA
the wonderful progress of Southern CAL
ifornia, it says:
The stories told of the vast enhance
ment in real estate values and the quick.
ness with which fortunes have been made
in Los Angeles are too well attested to
be deemed fabulous, ,although they sound
like fairy tale or dream of romance.
The relations of cause and effect are
usually complex. 1t takes bold man to
say with positive assurance which is cause
and which effect in many cases, and this
is notably so in Southern California.
For instance, the business of the South.
ern Pacific Company in that portion of
the State has increased 81 per cent. in
four years, and yet it is conceded that
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe gets
the cream of the whole. Has increased
business made railroad competition, or
has competition made increased bust.
ness? Who will venture to answer?
The fact is that each has sort of reflex
influence, and that they are mutually
helpful and beneficial.
There is one thing, however, that is
certain, and which this city and its vi
cinity would do well to heed, and that is
that the southern country has not de-
veloped itself. The air of San Diego
was just as balmy and the sunshine of
Los Angeles just as bright when Dana
loaded hides along the coast in 1884 as
it is to-day. So, too, the harbor of San
Francisco was just as secure when Sir
Francis Drake anchored ia it (if he did)
as it is now. California has had every
natural advantage which she now pos.
sesses for centuries, maybe for cycles.
What, then, is it that develops and
improves State or a city? II is the in
dustry. the enterprise, the judgment of
the people, and nothing else. 1t is the
judicious expenditure of money in such
way as tol make town or ci ty at.
tractive, healthy, comfortable and de.
sirable, that makes it go ahead.
The contrast between the Southern
California way and the San Francisco
way of doing things is decidedly strik-
ing. There they are willing to put some
confidence in the future; here, we must
see a dividend in sight before we will
expend dollar. There, they built q
road which will carry 100000
people to the top of mountain
every year; here, we have to have the
whole 100, 900 in sight before we will
break ground for the road. There, they
adopt plans for sewerage and adver-
tise for proposals; here, we introduce
a resolution of inquiry into the Board of
Supervisors, and then hem and haw and
postpone and consider and reconsider
and then the thing falls through.
The French proverb declares that one
cannot make an omelette without break
ing eggs. We cannot make prosper.
GUS, flourishing city without spending
money and taking some chances on the
future. So long as we keep on in the
old way we simply vegetate; if we want
to grow we must take leaf out of the
book of Southern California, and, in
many respects, initiate the example
which it has furnished.

Unsatisfactory Report of the
Condition of western Roads.

Unsatisfactory Report of the
Condition of western Roads.
OMAHA, June 20.-Messrs Pattison &
Little, members of the Pacific Railroad
Commission, arrived this morning from
the east. They spent Saturday in Chi
cago taking the testimony of M. Hugh
lit, President of the Chicago & North
Western Railroad Company, and also
President of the Sioux City and Pacific
Company. Hughitt testified that the
Sioux City and Pacific would not be able
at the maturity of the government lien to
pay anything toward discharging its
obligations to the government. If the
government insisted on forcing its lien,
common stockholders, he thought,
would abandon the property. A major.
ity of the stock was now held by the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
Company which bought the stock for
cash, at what rate Hughitt did not
know. An examination of the minute
book of the Sioux City Company dis.
closed, among other things, the fact
that about the time the Sioux Cityiand
Pacific was turned over to the North
western Company, John l. Blair, of New
Jersey, secured a passage by the Sioux
City directors of resolution providing
for an assumption by the Northwestern
Company of all the obligations of
Sioux City except its obligations to the
government.
THE UNION PACIFIC.
On reaching here to-day the
Commission set about at once
examining the Offices of the Union
Pacific. Benjamin McAllister, Land
Commissioner, was closely pressed by
Governor Pattison to answer whether
it was not policy of the company to
permit lands to remain unpatented in
order to avoid local taxation and he
finally answered "Yes." But Mr.. Pop
pleton, counsel for the company, ex.
planned to the Commissioners that Nc
Allister could only speak as to the Kan
sas division and not as to the policy OF
the company, having only recently
taken charge of the land department,
McAllister added that for the last five
years on the Kansas division the
company had applied for patents
and paid fees for nearly l,OOO,-
900 acres for which they had got, no
patents from the government. In answer
| to question by Commissioner Little as
to why the company had not yet select.
